- embedding-shapes built a web browser using a single Codex CLI agent over three days, resulting in 20,000 lines of Rust.
- The browser, named one-agent-one-browser, renders HTML+CSS without Rust crate dependencies but uses system frameworks for image and text rendering.
- A 1MB macOS binary was tested on a blog, successfully rendering an SVG feed subscription icon, though a PNG image was intermittently missing.
- The project demonstrates that a single agent, driven by a skilled engineer, can achieve significant results, challenging the need for multi-agent systems.
- The author predicts that by 2029, a production-grade web browser could be built by a small team with AI assistance.
